Cruz to add voter ID amendment to immigration bill

By CNN Political Unit

(CNN) — In a move that could affect the prospects for the immigration reform bill, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, announced Monday via Twitter that he plans to file an amendment to the legislation that would allow states to require proof of citizenship before registering to vote.

His announcement came in response to the Supreme Court’s decision Monday to strike down an Arizona provision in its voter registration law that required identification confirming citizenship.
